Leviticus 21 - 22
LeviticusSteve Gregg
Leviticus 21-22 emphasizes the importance of the purity and sanctity of priests in approaching God, including rules on avoiding contact with dead bodies, prohibitions on prostitution and restrictions on marriage partners. These regulations extended to sacrifices and vows made to God, which had to be done in a state of purity and sincerity. The symbolism of the tabernacle and the garments of the priests also carried deep meaning in strengthening the relationship between God and His people.
